But do we actually need CI for libkgapi for this? We only need it available as <br>
a dependency, so theoretically even distro packages in the CI image would work <br>
(I'm very reluctant to try that though, as that might have all kinds of <br>
surprising side-effects due to whatever else that might pull in (e.g. ECM)). <br>
Therefore the idea to let the seed job provide it, by means of a kf5 branch <br>
rule.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Distribution packages definitely won't work :)</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately the seed jobs can't help here, as the entirety of release/23.08 has been dropped from the CI system.</div><div>There are also rules in place to continually re-drop any release/23.08 packages that do appear in the system.</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

It's @stable and @latest-kf6 depending on the Qt version in kio-gdrive, and <br>
inside libkgapi it's @latest for its KF5 dependencies, which seems correct <br>
IIUC?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>@stable for the relationship between libkgapi and kio-gdrive isn't correct as they're both within KDE Gear no?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

We already have that mixed scenario anyway in 24.02 it seems, so that is <br>
apparently working.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm only aware of one case where that happened, which was a special one off as KF5 apps needed the Qt 5 plugins still?</div><div>(I think this was kio-extras)</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps we need to ask distributions to treat kio-gdrive the same?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for retiring Qt5 stuff as soon as we can, but I <br>
fear this isn't the only place where we will hit this problem, and not all of <br>
those might be able to do that just yet.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In an ideal world, applications (the leaves) would drop Qt 5 support first, and then once all consumers had migrated away the libraries would start dropping support.</div><div>Not sure why libkgapi had to rush to drop Qt 5....</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
